The other day I was in my garage and I realized something: we have
way too many tires. Living where we do, we end up driving into the
mountains a great deal, or further south and into the dessert. Both
types of terrain can be rough on rubber, and we go through a full set of
tires once a year. For a long time we just threw the old ones out, but
now we have been patching and reusing them instead of purchasing new
ones.

Obviously, this is better than tossing them both environmentally and
economically. But we still have more than we need, and I had no idea
what to do with them. Sell them? Give them away? That is when my
Pinterest instinct kicked in and I knew I had to see if I could find
some good upcycling projects for them.
